IMPROVEMENT IN RAWHIDE WASTE-SANS.

' Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 193,656, dated July31, 1877; application led June 23, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALBERT HoLBRooK, of thecity and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Tubs or Waste-Cans; and do herebydeclare the same to be described in the following specification andrep'- resented in the accompanying drawings, of Whioh- Figure 1 is a topview, Fig. 2 a side elevation, Fig. 3 a vertical section, and Fig. 4 ahorizontal section, of a Waste-can of my improved kind. Fig. 5 is ahorizontal section of it, taken through its handles.

The body of this can I make of rawhide. It is composed of a tube, A, anda bottom, B. The said tube A is a sheet of rawhide, bent around in atubular form and lapped together at its edges, and there connected byrivets, as shown at a. The bottom B is a disk of rawhide, having adiameter larger than that 0ftween the fold d andthe part of thetubeencompassed by it. Y

The outer fold d has two vertical slits, g g,

made in it, for the reception of each of the handlesU, whose ends areinserted through these slits, andV between the tube and either or boththe folds, and are secured'thereto by rivets going through the hole'andthe tube, in manner as shown at e e.

All this is to be done while the material is in a wet or pliant state.After it may become dry it will be stiff, and should be shellaced,varnished, or painted.

While the folds of the upper end of the tube give strength to it, theyuid materially iu se curing the handles to it.

I elaiml As an improved manufacture, the rawhide Waste tub or can,having the upper part of its body folded as described, and each ofitshandles inserted in the outer'fold, and fastened thereto, and to thepart orparts lencompassed by such fold, all being substantially asspecified.

ALBERT HOLBROOK.
